City Line Bar and Grill

Went on a busy Saturday night with friends. One of my friends even called ahead to name sure they were aware of my celiac disease and needed 100% gluten free meals and they said they had gluten free options. We ordered drinks and then got our meals. I ordered the chicken shwarma and said multiple times that it needed to be gluten free and to make sure it was sage for me to eat. Once the food came (after 1 hour) I again asked twice and the wait or confirmed it was gluten free. I ate it and ordered dessert (something gluten free without request) and left. Around 2 hours later I didn't feel good and got sick (vomited for an hour). This restaraunt was not aware of making a gluten free meal. It's safe to say I will not be coming back.

My server was knowledgeable about GF kitchen practices and confirmed they have a separate GF fryer! I had the southwest salad and it was delicious! There was GF flour less chocolate cake on the menu, too.

Disappointed as I ordered a gluten free macdadddy brisket Mac and cheese sandwich. Tasted too good to be true. Asked the waiter what base the pasta was and turns out was not gluten free. 🥴

Have eaten here before with minimal issue. Things are deteriorating for gf diners. Tried just getting a burger and after coming out with breaded onions and then second try with a regular bun, I left without eating. Tough when on a time constraint for lunch.

Gluten free available marked on menu items but my waitress did not seem knowledgeable about the GF options. The sweet potato fries are marked GFA on the menu but my waitress said they could not be made GF 🤷🏼‍♀

Plenty of gluten free options on menu! Waitstaff knowledge varies but kitchen staff is aware and has separate fryer for fries but not other fried items. Gluten free bread also has separate space from gluten items. No gluten free pasta but zoodles available.

Staff is not at all knowledgeable about gluten free menu items. I was told their fries are not made in a dedicated fryer and advised to order something different. No faith in my waiter and was afraid to eat my meal. Shame, because I’ve heard good things in the celiac community but did not at all feel safe there. Would not recommend.

Not flagged for allergies and didn’t confirm my dish was gluten free. Did not have gluten free beer in stock. The fried chicken gluten free version is only grilled chicken

We used to go here ALL the time. At least once, sometimes twice a week. It was fantastic. Then something changed. They got a new cook, new staff, etc. and things seem to have gone downhill. The last 4 times we've gone here I've sent my meal back every time for the exact same reason. I always get the shrimp bang bang tacos and for whatever reason they now serve them in uncooked corn tortillas. I send them back because the tortillas are supposed to be cooked, not served raw. I'm bummed that things have changed. It will be a while before we go back.
